Great fish and selection. We go there at least once a week to buy fresh fish and lunch. Minus for friendliness. Some employees are super nice but some seem impolite and last time I went one woman seemed getting super annoyed with me for not speaking Dutch and/or not ordering quickly enough. I can't be sure, because I didn't understand her, but it seemed like she made fun of me in Dutch to her colleague right in front of me knowing I wouldn't understand. Hope this won't happen again.

Bad Service! Not even one star worthy!
I buy regularly but its always a toss up on fresh fish. The mackerel was kinda falling apart.. but ive had excellent stuff too
Best haring in town. Be prepared to queue up but it is worth it.
Changing my review to 1 star, please note thar this review concerns the Dutch speciality way of preparing Herring only. After lots of positive experiences, suddenly one of the women in charge would not prepare the herring fresh for me. This means that the herring could be lying in the shop for hours instead of the \5 minutes\ that is the standard answer of every mediocre fishmonger. You have to know that this greatly affects the taste and consistency of the herring (among other factors like how they defrost the unprepared herring). A good fishmonger will therefore either always prepare it fresh for you, or at least give you the choice between the premade stuff or the real thing. After many visits there, apparently my request was too much to ask. This will stop me from ever going there again. Any fish shop that does this, earns an automatic low rating, since a herring should *always* be cleaned right in front of you.
